Happy Easter. Pope Francis was *Zucked* ... sorry @Pontifex, take it up with Menlo Park.
Who wants to tell @SenWarren? I nominate @SenMarkey.
Narendra Modi. No biggie.
Let’s keep with the theme of world leaders breached by Facebook, Alex.
Jair Messias Bolsonaro.
Red hot, Alex. Let’s stay with this category. World leaders for $500. Have you been Zucked? 🇵🇰
Ok for $400, world leaders again. Have you been Zucked, 🇹🇷 ?
Ok, let’s go to our good friends north of the border, 🇨🇦. Recall Facebook argued with @CharlieAngusNDP, Canada didn’t even have jurisdiction. @beynate @AHousefather will be interested in this.
Last one in this category, we’ll head back across the pond to 🇬🇧.
Let’s move over to the category of Sports ⚽️ stars, Alex. For $500... sorry, @Cristiano.
Always a battle, Messi won’t be left out of being Zucked.
And let’s move to the most followed celebrity entertainers. @rihanna avoided the breach but not this female superstar.
Another widely followed pop music star of social media.
Will Smith, these are some of the most heavily followed people on the planet...on Facebook.
Sorry, broken thread continues here.
Snap. don’t fell my kids that Harry Potter’s email and phone number may be available from a data breach on Facebook?
Ok, one last Member of Congress. Considering Zuckerberg wouldn’t answer his awareness timeline of their previous largest breach, @aoc will want to know her recovery phone # and personal data may have been in this breach.
Ok, I’m done with my playing jeopardy to see who got caught up in this breach. Facebook called it *old news* but I bet you none of those world leaders and celebrities were informed they were swept up in it.
Alright folks. Yes, that site above ⬆️ was popped up recently so I didn’t link to it. If you want to check if you’re part of this breach or any others, highly recommend @haveibeenpwned, run by Troy Hunt. He just added phone #s as a lookup.
Also, pointing out the obvious here, Facebook should have had a role in notifying and securing the data.

ok, this is HUGE. Late Friday, Penske (PMC) filed a wicked-smart, landmark antitrust lawsuit against Google. I've now read it in full and I'm very impressed. Importantly, it's the first antitrust suit for Google tying its AI-driven products to its adjudicated search monopoly. /1 Image
The core claim: Google is abusing its search monopoly to force pubs to hand over content - not just for traditional search indexing but to feed its AI. Google then repurposes it to substitute them with its own services breaking the fundamental bargain of the open web. /2 Image
Penske says this is not a fair exchange. If it weren't for Google's adjudicated monopoly power (recall Judge Mehta said they get 19x as many queries as next biggest), Google would be paying pubs for these rights or if it didn't then they would opt-out of providing them. /3 Image

OK all ye people depressed Judge Mehta didn't order Google broken into bits this week. I'm here to cheer you up. DOJ has its other remedies trial in 16 days and just posted its PFJ (Proposed Final Remedies) now 60+ pages of brilliant detail. Let me walk you through key terms. /1 Image
This is the 2023 US v Google adtech win - the one DCN and its premium publishers have long been much more deep and focused on. Here’s what it means for publishers of all types - and why it will be a massive win for the open web if Judge Brinkema signs on (I believe she will). /2 Image
First, clear structural remedies. Google must divest AdX, its ad exchange, w/in 2yrs and likely DFP, its publisher ad server. No more vertical ad stack monopoly with interest conflicts. This would finally decouple tools Google can use to rig auctions and suppress pub revenues. /3 Image

All eyes at Google on streaming NFL game tonight but Google Inc and its many monopolies have had quite the week. I’ve been absorbing on this end, some quick Friday thoughts on things missed. Bad news certainly for the public, and also DCN members, in US v Google Search case. /1
Judge Mehta said "no thanks" to helping publishers - because he said no pubs testified. Maybe that’s what retaliation fear looks like??? He also noted the unlawful conduct was about distribution deals, not deals with publishers. More on that in a minute. /2
Despite Mehta finding Google illegally maintained its 95%+ search monopoly with browser deals, he also said it’s OK for Google to keep owning Chrome - the world’s biggest browser - so they can keep paying everyone else and free riding on their own browser. All bad here. /3

Woah. Facebook just settled immediately before board members Andreessen, Thiel, Zuckerberg, Desmond-Hellman, and Sheryl Sandberg were set to testify as to who knew what and when…depriving public of any accountability and facts in courtroom from board and officer comms. 1/3
Counter to Facebook lawyers framing yesterday, the DC AG suit isn’t dead (awaiting DC Circuit from 1/30 hearing), and NdCal shareholder suit also still alive. This is the closest to
Courtroom testimony after about $8B+ in settlements. 2/3
Credit to Reuters, Delaware Online who I saw actually showed up to cover. It’s likely why Facebook, Zuckerberg and its board, let this one get so close. But the grid. But today things were likely to get very very hot. 3/3

News cycles. News cycles. What I called the "mother of all lawsuits" for Facebook in 2021 goes to trial TOMORROW. Zuckerberg, Marc Andreessen, Sheryl Sandberg, Peter Thiel, other board members expected to testify live as to who knew what and when in its largest scandal ever. /1 Image
Meanwhile, Zuckerberg and Facebook comms have successfully flooded the zone with AI-hype and exclusive CEO interviews mostly distracting the press away from a trial on how they leveraged, and allegedly abused, personal data to drive a decade of massive growth in mobile share. /2
The case involves allegations the board broke its loyalty to company (and Zuckerberg insider traded on stock) after Facebook had been long violating its FTC consent decree and other privacy laws - all covered up by nearly $8 billion in settlements ($5B alone with the FTC). /3 Image

Woah. Exhibit list just posted for Facebook trial in DE starting in a few weeks. We finally have confirmation Sheryl Sandberg was deposed by the SEC - one week prior to Zuckerberg which also kept secret until a lawsuit unsealed it. Sandberg was also sanctioned in this case. /1 Image
This matters as it gets at Who Knew What When at FB ahead of the world finding out its platform was leaking personal data for years. Zuckerberg was dodgy at best under oath to Congress, FB responses to Parliaments focused on 2018 news. But exhibits include Jan 2017 MZ emails. /2 Image
The DE lawsuit claims Facebook's $5 billion record settlement was inflated in order to protect its CEO, Zuckerberg, and also includes (civil) insider trading claims. Zuckerberg was ordered to sit for multiple day depo this year, will have to testify live. /3 Image
